A planar model with multiple delays is studied. The singularities of the model and the corresponding bifurcations are investigated by using the standard dynamical results, center manifold theory and normal form method of retarded functional differential equations. It is shown that Bogdanov–Takens (BT) singularity for any time delays, and a serious of pitchfork and Hopf bifurcation can co-existent. The versal unfoldings of the normal forms at the BT singularity and the singularity of a pure imaginary and a zero eigenvalue are given, respectively. Numerical simulations have been provided to illustrate the theoretical predictions.
